Solution
1. Calculation of polytropic index of the compression process:
log [ P1/P2] = n log [V2/V1] ------ [1]
here, P1 = initial pressure
P2 = Final pressure
V1 = Initial Volume
V2 = Final Volume
As P increases 45 times and V decreases 16 times,
So, n or polytropic index =
log [1/45] = n log [1/16]
or, n = log [1/45]/ log [1/16]
on solving we get, n =0.35
2. Temperature of the air after compression:
P1V1/T1 = P2 V2 /T2
T2...
